As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community.

No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality.

Hate has no home here.

Last year I was honoured to be commissioned to work on the design and structure of a workbook journal that goes alongside a domestic abuse programme for vulnerable mums.

The programme was designed by Claire Verney of DVACT-PIA, learn more:

Yikes....I'm in the middle of writing a book...but how did it start?

Here's my writing process part 1

Yikes – How this started…
If you had said to me 18 months ago that I would be actually 18 months into writing one, maybe more, children’s books, I may well have shot you. But here I am. How did it even start? Well act…

I’m sure there are many amongst those who flee from abuse that encounter this as well.

This is my friends petition. Self-employment income seems to be a gap in the child maintenance system and this needs to change.

Today was a self care kinda day!

1. Gym session
2. Lunch with a friend
3. Nails done
4. Work from my sofa

11 years ago I couldn’t do this. I’ve had to build myself up to being “allowed” and give myself “permission” and to be guilt free.

Circulating these which were shared by my youngest daughter’s school.

Sharing to help other parents, I feel it’s a constant re affirming of healthy boundaries with platforms like these because it’s so easy to be drawn in.

I find it very challenging to concentrate on reading with my ADHD. I am now doing a mix of audiobooks and reading to help with this and I feel so much better for being able to access books, learn and escape.

I've set my goal for 25 books this year, what's your reading goal?

PS Happy New Year!!!

Never thought a monkey would make such an emotional impact on me or the rest of those watching it with me in the cinema yesterday.

My kids asked for a Christmas breakfast inspired by the film Elf with @willferrell.bsky.social

Review from the kids = It was good to say we have had it but never again!

🤣

I like to grant Christmas wishes!

Merry Christmas

Who else has a NeuroSpicy wildcard?

Here’s my unique neurodivergent self:
🌶️ ADHD
🌶️ Dyslexia
🌶️ Dyspraxia
🌶️ Autism - on the pathway to it being officially diagnosed after the Dyslexia / Dyspraxia was found

Slowly unmasking, slowly accepting, slowly understanding.

Have you checked out my starterpacks?

Today I’ve set one up for #SBS winners 🥰🥳

So good to be finally connecting with those I know and those I’m yet to learn about.

SBS is Small Business Sunday run by BBC Dragons Den Theo Paphitis. His winners are featured in this pack.

If today is hard for you for any reason, I’m sorry.
You deserve better and I hope you get it soon.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe next week, I don’t know. But at some point whatever’s weighing you down is going to feel lighter.
Sit it out, you’ll get there.
